1965 ford mustang in prairie bronze, t code 120 hp engine (200 cu in. 3. 3 l inline 6), automatic transmission,complete restoration. Backstory:this mustang is one of the late ‘65’s manufactured in dearborn, mi on march 15, 1965, and first sold inindianapolis, in, where it lived its whole life until 2014. I bought the car from an old gentleman who kept it in abarn under a tarp for decades, as his wife was not strong enough to drive it. Although thrashed by time, themustang never did acquire rust, and has never seen an accident. A perfect candidate for restoration. I imported the car into california and completed a comprehensive total restoration of the vehicle along withmustang specialists throughout los angeles. It has been affectionately named ‘indy” as a conclusion to thestory. Else,the mustang looks as it did when it left the plant in michigan, 51 years ago. Mechanical systems:fuel: the entire fuel route is new, from the gas tank itself, straight through to the carburetor. A point worthnoting is that this mustang has an original autolite 1100 carburetor, and not a chinese reproduction. They aredifficult to come by. Electrical: a majority of the wire loom in this mustang was unscathed by time and weather. The battery, solenoid,alternator, coil, distributor, sensors, and electronic ignition are all new and part of the restoration. Additionally, a modern stereo made by retro sound (zuma) was installed, which is a precise replica in appearance tothe original mustang stereo. These bluetooth / usb / ipod enabled stereos are amazing, and no modification to thedashboard is required, including the pioneer speakers made for the vintage mustangs. Environmental: a total workover of the heating and ventilation is completed, as part of the restoration. The entiresystem is new and functions normally. Interior: easily, the most special aspect of this mustang. The interior was meticulously worked back tooriginality, a palomino color scheme; every aspect was brought down to metal, treated, correctly painted,reupholstered, and exacted to mimic the original interior. There are no seat belts in the rear seats, as was thecase when new. Incredibly, this classic is very quiet inthe passenger compartment, can easily regulate temperature, and doesn’t smell like fuel. The trunk has also beencompletely restored, including the spare tire and accessories. Engine:we purchased and installed a remanufactured engine with an extensive warranty which was installed in november of2015. At the time of installation, the odometer was frozen, and so it was reset with the zero mile engine. The core isfantastic, no leaks, solid compression, and clean plugs. With the engine install, we put in a new radiator, water pump, oil pump, sensors, pcv, air cleaner, torqueconverter, starter, cables, and mounts. Additionally, the transmission was rebuilt prior to the engine install. Acomplete re-working of the engine compartment was completed in this process to include correct paint colors,decals, seals, hoses and clamps, etc. Additional notes:the tires (hankook white walls) are all new with the same mileage on them as the engine, with exception of thespare; it’s a full size, but not a new tire, yet safety checked. The differential was rebuilt, including acomplete flushing and reworking of the housing, axles, and hubs; new bearing and bearing seals were installed. Theentire underside of the car was media blasted. Bluetooth
